I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where it's all about being comfortable. I try to bring that undercurrent to what I do. It's great to have beautiful, dressed-up clothes that still feel casual.
As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.
I hate the idea that you shouldn't wear something just because you're a certain age.
I don't like it when people say, 'You're 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y.' For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.
In high school I spent most of my time in jeans and T-shirts or Juicy sweats. We're such a laid-back town. I mean, people wore bikinis under their clothes half the time, so you didn't really get dressed up to go to school.
Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I'm past that age.
My look is relaxed, and while I love fashion, I don't obsess about it. I don't have set rules when it comes to dressing, and I don't mind where my clothes are from.
For me, fashion means dare. I don't mind wearing a bikini. I am okay with it.
To be honest, I kind of dress like a 15-year-old boy. And I probably live like a 15-year-old boy, too.
I'm not into bikinis or other revealing clothing.
